Paul Simon on 'SNL'

Paul Simon new music
On May 19, 2023, Simon released his 15th solo studio album 'Seven Psalms.'
The unconventional record — which came to him in a dream — is a single 33-minute track made up seven parts.
'I envisioned 'Seven Psalms' as one long thought, combined with sounds powerful enough to make the thought come alive,' he said.

For our money, it's a soft, spiritual departure for the sensitive hitmaker. His unmistakable voice is as powerful as ever but there's a real deep feeling here, one of an artist trying to make a final thesis statement. It's simple, lo-fi and a worthy listen for even the most fair weather of fans.
And, while, yes, the album is quite heavy, 'My Professional Opinion' is a jaunty, tongue-in-cheek tune that has traces of Simon's playful classics 'Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard' and 'Cecilia' in its DNA if you squint hard enough while tuning in.
If you'd like to hear the stirring, acoustic offering, you can find 'Seven Psalms' here.
Paul Simon band
According to Consequence, here are the artists taking the stage with Simon this spring and summer:

Caleb Burhans (viola), Jamey Haddad (percussion), Gyan Riley (guitar), Mick Rossi (piano, keys), Andy Snitzer (saxophone), Nancy Stagnita (flute), Mark Stewart (guitar), and Eugene Friesen (Cello). They added that 'Steve Gadd and Matt Chamberlin will alternate on drums.'
Simon's wife Edie Brickell will join him on vocals.

What time does true crime docuseries ‘The Mortician' release on HBO and Max?
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. HBO is between big Sunday night shows, with 'The Last of Us' Season 2 in the rearview and 'The Gilded Age' Season 3 still a few weeks away; in between the two shows, the premium cable network is airing a new three-part true crime documentary series. 'The Mortician' is a chilling series that uncovers the dark secrets behind a seemingly respectable, family-run funeral home. The Lamb Funeral Home in Pasadena, California, was known for decency and propriety, but in the early 1980s, David Sconce, heir to the Lamb legacy, took control of the business and launched a disturbing campaign to boost profits by exploiting the dead in increasingly unethical and inhumane ways. Additionally, the series will explore the mortuary industry as a whole and illuminate what can happen behind closed doors. The HBO and Max series will feature an exclusive interview with Sconce, who was recently released from prison, plus commentary from Sconce's ex-wife Barbara Hunt; mortician Jolena Grande; mortuary owners Jay Brown and Elie Estephan; journalists Ashley Dunn and David Geary; Lamb Funeral Home victims; former employees and acquaintances of Sconce; and law enforcement and judicial officials. What time does 'The Mortician' come out on HBO and Max? 'The Mortician' comes out at 9 p.m. ET tonight, June 1, on HBO. The episode will release at the same time on HBO's Max streaming service.

Max is available to subscribe to via Prime Video starting at $9.99/month with ads. It costs $16.99/month if you want to go ad-free. That's not the only way to subscribe, though. Sling TV offers some of the best value for money among live tv streaming services, thanks to some great offers.

One week after the death of the family patriarch, the Robertson family is back on TV in 'Duck Dynasty: The Revival.' The revival series is a sequel to 'Duck Dynasty,' which aired originally from 2012 to 2017 and garnered a number of spin-offs. Per the logline, 'Willie and Korie [Robertson] will bring their signature humor and family fun as they grapple with mapping out the future of Duck Commander, watching the kids navigate marriage, children and businesses of their own, and passing down the family legacy' 'It's been almost nine years now, and we didn't necessarily think we were going to come back to television,' Korie told The Post. In addition to Willie and Korie, the series follows their adult children, including Sadie and John Luke, their spouses and children, and other family members that audiences grew to know during the original series' run. 'Four out of our six kids are literally in our neighborhood,' Korie told The Post. 'Willie says he can hit a golf ball and hit any of our kids' houses, which is the greatest blessing.

Can a rock star also be humble? Bono's ‘Stories of Surrender' will surprise you
Reading Bono's 2022 memoir ' Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story,' you might be struck by an intriguing juxtaposition: For a rock star often accused of harboring a messiah complex, this guy also, somehow, seems admirably humble. That same spirit guides the new performance documentary 'Bono: Stories of Surrender,' adapted from the U2 leader's one-man stage show inspired by that book. Given stark cinematic life by director Andrew Dominik, the film — which streams on Apple TV+ starting Friday, May 30, after premiering at the Cannes Film Festival earlier in the month — features paradoxes worthy of its subject. It is both stripped-down and grandiose, over-the-top and understated. 'Stories of Surrender' was shot before an adoring live audience at the Beacon Theatre in New York and enhanced with filmic touches provided in post-production. While it sometimes struggles with the transition from stage to screen, it ultimately succeeds due to its star's unassuming charisma and effortless storytelling. 'It is preposterous to think others might be as interested in your own story as you are,' the Irish rock star, born Paul David Hewson, tells his audience from the stage. But we know that he knows his story is worth hearing, and it's clear that he relishes the opportunity. That story is about a rebellious Dublin teen who at 14, his mother, Iris, dies from an aneurysm, and his already-reticent father (or 'the da,' as Bono consistently calls him) grows even more distant. Under the sway of punk acts like the Ramones, dreaming of forming his own band, young Paul rounds up some friends — Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr. and the Edge — and, through force of will and talent, make the climb from sparsely populated pub gigs to sold-out stadiums. At only 86 minutes, 'Stories of Surrender' makes no pretense of telling the full Bono story. But it picks its spots with artful precision and with keen cinematic instincts. Dominik (2007's ' The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford ' and 2022's ' Blonde ') and cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt use black-and-white imagery shot with chiaroscuro lighting to set an intimate but poetic tone. At times we see multiple Bonos talking to each other. The occasional blast of pyrotechnics tends to be muted. The music itself is presented with a minimalist touch. Music supervisor Jacknife Lee, working with cellist Kate Ellis and harpist Gemma Doherty, provide the backbone, with the occasional prerecorded blast of a familiar anthem. The songs provide autobiographical background and heft, as when Bono recalls the sense of purpose and thrill that came with belting out 'Pride (In the Name of Love)' at the 1985 Live Aid benefit concert — then notes ruefully that the $250 million that concert raised for Ethiopia was a mere drop in the bucket of the country's desperate need. Wearing a suit jacket, pinstriped vest and beads, Bono uses empty chairs and spotlights to recreate key moments of his tale. Three simple kitchen chairs placed in a row represent Clayton, Mullen and the Edge as the aspiring rock stars who try to piece together what would become the early hit 'I Will Follow.' More poignantly, Bono sits in a plush lounge chair as he imagines the pub conversations he used to have with his father, who would begin every conversation with the same question: 'Anything strange or startling?' One day, well into U2's run of stardom, the son decides to turn the question on the father, only to receive the devastating news that the old man has cancer. 'Stories of Surrender' is a disarming portrait of a self-aware megastar with an authentically personal demeanor, the kind of guy you might want to join for one of those pub conversations. If you do think Bono has a god complex, he comes across here as someone eager to sit down, laugh about it and perhaps tip a couple of pints.
